In this instruction from Milo Lines Golf, coach Henry demonstrates his top drill to manage trail elbow positioning in the golf swing. By using the lead arm as a guard to guide the trail elbow, golfers can prevent getting stuck behind the torso's seam line for cleaner impact and more consistent ball striking.
Use your lead arm as a physical guide/guard for your trail arm during practice reps.
Keep the right elbow in front of the side seam line of your torso throughout transition.
Preventing a stuck trail elbow allows the club to stay on path into impact.
Work through slow-motion practice swings using this guard technique to build proper motor control.
